Sorry it's taken me so long to get this up. I've been super busy. This chapter is more of a filler but I promise that something's gonna happen soon. :).
"This is the last box!" Santana shouted as she walked through the front door of Brittany's house. Brittany walked out of what would now be their room and clapped excitedly. They had been moving the Latina's things all day and had only taken a break for lunch. Brittany was excited for Santana to move in. This would be her first move-in relationship and she was giddy. Santana set the box down on the floor near the couch and sat down on the couch. The blonde had rushed her to pack and move, she didn't get why but she did nonetheless. Brittany straddled her lap and wrapped her arms around the other girl's neck. She felt like this whole thing was a dream. She had to pinch herself sometimes to make sure she was really with the brunette.
"When are blondie and the diva coming over?" Santana asked rubbing her girlfriend's hips bones. Brittany rolled her hips into her girlfriend unconsciously.
"In ten minutes." She said looking at the clock. "Oh shit! We still have to take showers. Come on!" she said jumping off the shorter girl and grabbing her hand, pulling her towards the bedroom and bathroom. Showering together would save time…. Right?
Quinn walked through the door after waiting almost ten minutes for her friends to answer. She set the takeout food on the counter and looked back at her girlfriend. Rachel smirked at the blonde. Now they knew why the girls didn't answer.
"I hope they're almost done at least. I'm hungry." Rachel pouted and Quinn melted. They had been together since high school but every time the short girl pouted, the blonde got more and more whipped and more head over heels. She pulled the diva into a hug and kissed the top of her head.
"I'll drag them out of the shower if I have to." Rachel laughed and shook her head.
"Who are you dragging and out the shower?" Santana asked smiling as she walked into the living room area, Brittany right behind her.
"Nothing. Can we eat now? My baby girl is hungry." Quinn said letting go of the brunette and taking just her hand. Santana nodded and gave everyone their food. As they started eating Brittany stared intently at Quinn with questioning eyes.
"What?" The blonde asked nervously.
"When are you getting married?" Brittany asked and Quinn almost choked on her food.
"Um… Why?" she asked and Rachel looked down at her food. Brittany was asking something she had wanted to ask for years. She started wondering if Quinn even wanted to be with her forever.
"Cause you guys are like rainbows and Irish people. You just go together. So when?" Santana smiled at Brittany's example, but looked on at Quinn for her answer.
"I'm not sure yet." Quinn muttered and looked down at her food and continued eating. She was terrified of that kind of commitment and she felt terrible about it. The silence was awkward and Santana felt out of place. She would have to talk to Quinn about all of this.
"So Rach, I hear your album comes out soon." She said breaking the silence. Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the Latina thankfully.
"Next week actually." Santana nodded. She knew her idol personally, but that didn't stop her from getting excited when a new album came out.
"Awesome." Brittany smiled. Santana had a fan girl crush on the diva, it was sorta cute. The rest of the meal was pleasant and there was no more awkwardness. They all helped clean up and went into the living room to visit. Brittany and Rachel got into a conversation about animal rights or something and Santana decided to take the chance to go outside and talk to Quinn. She waved her hand for the blonde girl to follow. They made their way out and the brunette sat down in the grass. Quinn sat next to her and nervously played with her fingers.
"So why not?" Santana asked and she faced the blonde.
"I just can't. What if I end up doing something to ruin it? I can't marry her and end up hurting her." Quinn whispered.
"You love her right?" Quinn looked at her incredulously.
"Of course." Santana nodded and took a deep breath, contemplating what to say.
"Then you don't need to worry. I get that you're afraid you'll mess up but you have to get in your head that everyone does. Marriage is through thick and thin. You and Rach are meant to be together, and I know that you wouldn't do anything to even make her sad. When you look into the future, who do you see next to you when you're old?"
"Rachel." Quinn answered.
"That's all you need then. I'm not saying that you should propose now. But you really should. If you guys don't marry, then there's no hope for anyone else." The brunette laughed. Quinn smiled and took in what her friend said. She was afraid of hurting Rachel, but what if she was hurting her by not marrying her? The blonde thanked Santana and both stood to go back inside.
"People eat ducks?" Brittany said looking sad. Rachel suddenly felt terrible about going into how people treat certain animals. She looked at her girlfriend and Santana as they walked through the door for support.
"Only the sugary kind honey." Brittany smiled.
"Oh good." Rachel and Quinn looked at Santana thankfully. She knew what to say when Brittany was sad and it was cute. Quinn sat next to the short girl and took her hand in hers. Santana did the same with Brittany and they continued to talk and joke until it was time for the couple to leave. When they left Brittany ran to their room and plopped down on the bed.
"Baby?" she said rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Yeah?"
"Are you afraid of marriage too?" Santana looked down, not sure what she should say.
"No, we'll get there." She said and Brittany beamed.
"You gotta meet my sister first." Santana's eyes got as big as a deers in headlights, but she didn't say anything. Instead she got in bed with the blonde and cuddled up next to her. Hopefully Brittany would forget this conversation in the morning.
